Tim tweeted to say he had been contacted about a lost wallet – from 14 years ago

Although the event would have been a frustration for Tim at the time, for the group who came across it he has become the legend who sparked the Timothy Burrows Challenge.

He was told by a man known as Giles the group who stumbled upon the lost wallet took out £10 and handed it in to lost property.

They put the £10 to good use – buying as much White Lightning cider as they could – and from then the challenge was born.

Tim shared the conversation on Twitter and wrote: “Been contacted by a man who found my wallet at Reading 2003, took £10 out to buy cider and held an annual drinking competition in my honour.”

The man explained: “I think my friends found it in a ditch near orange and yellow camp in 2003 if indeed it was yours, it was handed in to the lost and found, but not before one of the “borrowed” a 10er out of it and bought as much white lightning as he could find…

“Of course looking back on it, that was very childish and illegal but I always thought it would be nice to reach out and let you know that it went down as an annual tradition of cider drinking competitions named ‘the Timothy Burrows challenge’.
